Hello, Anna,
I never bother any such but always use computer Braille in 8 dot
mode, since it works best in many applications. I have no reason
to bother using grade II. That is it.

Hi,
My passcode is letters, so I can have Grade 2 on. If your
passcode is numbers, you would need to type them in Grade 2 if
contracted braille is on, computer braille if Contracted braille
is off and 8-dot mode is on, or Grade 1 if Contracted braille is
off and 8-dot mode is off.
Best,
Anna

You can put the password in with your braille display but you
have to have contractions off and I think it matters whether
eight-dot is on or off too but I can't remember which way it has
to be. You should hear a sound shortly after you hit the power
button to unlock and braille from the unlock screen should be
visible on your display; then you just go to the password field
if necessary and type in your passcode. If it doesn't work, I
immediately do a chord-g because it usually means I have
contractions on. But I remember also that at one time I had
problems with this and all passwords because of the way eight-dot
was toggled.

I tried and tried to turn over a new leaf.
I got crumpled wads of tear-stained paper thrown in the trash!
Then God gave me a new heart and life:
His joy for my despairing tears!
And now, every day:
"This I call to mind, and therefore I have hope:
The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases;
his mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness."
(Lamentations 3:21-23 ESV)

Hi Teresa,
If I have my braile display turned on before I unlock the
screen, I can enter my passcode in braille now. That's with a
Focus 40 Blue. I assume you've tried, but thought I'd mention it
in case you haven't tried.
Best,
Anna

Braille for entering the passcode to unlock the screen would be
fabulous. I can't seem to be accurate enough with handwriting.

But easy braille input would be a serious boon, even if just
the simplest
grade1, so long as it was sufficiently standard and gave access
to the
common-obscure characters - /<> and a few others we never used
in ordinary
writing at shcool, but turn up in Net text and links all the
time now.
If escape sequences get used - press this before you press
that!.... - for
it to be at least consistent; 101 different escape codes for as
many
non-alphaNumerics is an awful overhead to try and get one's head
round..
Struth, even programming code like C and Pascal had that as a
basis.
E.g: "\" meant use the next symbol literally, not try and
interpret it..
You can see, state it once, and right away you have a grasp of
the whole
extended character set.
But we'll see!

I don't like autocorrect or any sort of predictive typing, so I
probably
would turn it off if that turns out to be an option. That's
just me, though.

I think we all have to wait and see how efficient this Quick

one glance and to quickly tap one and it's another thing if you
have to
review the words with Voiceover. I have no idea how Apple will
implement
this with Voiceover, but I wouldn't jump with joy quite yet and
for many
Fleksy is a favourite and all of those who use have been longing
for the
day when Apple would allow system wide access to third-party
keyboards.
This and Apple's "extensibility" is quite a game changer as
developers of
one app now can access information from other apps which
previously was
not possible. I assume this means potentially different apps
could use
voices you bought, for example, in Voice Dreamreader. Of course
I'm not
sure if this is actually the case, but it sounds like it could
work that
way.

Hi all,
I just wanted to let everyone know the major new iOS8
accessibility
features we know so far. This is from the Keynote - I don't
even have the
beta, so I can't break an NDA.
* Better Zoom
* Touch ID and a countdown timer as ways to exit Assistive Touch
* multi-device support for compatible hearing aids
* the Alex voice from OS X (possibly for Siri, or VO, we don't
know for
sure)
* six-key braille input on-screen (no clue what this will look
like)
* third-party keyboard support for the whole system, and Fleksy
as said on
Twitter that it will be among the first to take advantage of
this. Yes,
Fleksy will soon be available at any point in iOS when a
keyboard appears,
from Mail to the App store to, well, anywhere!
That's all I can think of for now, but between those and the
standard iOS8
features, this is shaping up to be a very, very exciting
release!

Have a great day,
